Where are you from? How old are you?

I come from France and I’m 23. I am currently living in Paris.

How long have you been with Sketchfab? How did you hear about it? What’s your role here?

Hm, I have been at Sketchfab for almost a year and a half now. At the time, I was studying in Montréal, looking for a job when a friend told me about Sketchfab. It seemed nice and the technology was pretty cool.

My job here is to build the web components that power the Sketchfab website. There’s a lot to work on, from the comments to the search filters!

How did you get into programing/engineering?

I started about ten years ago with Dark Basic, which allowed me to (somewhat easily) build 3D projects. It was fun and since then I have continued programming! From Basic to PHP, from PHP to C, from C to C++, from C++ to Javascript 🙂

Do you do 3D modeling yourself? How would you get started?

Many developers artistic eyes are usually somewhat weak, and I’m sadly not an exception! Despite admiring artistic works, I’ve sadly never really been able to succeed in these things, including 3D modeling. I’ve tried a few times to learn Blender but… there are too much buttons!

What is your favorite model on Sketchfab?

Hard question! I love all 3D scenes, where you can really see characters inside their own environment. These kinds of models are usually very lively, and “flying” into the scene to see how it looks under different angles can tell you a totally different story.

For this question, I think I will nominate one of the models coming from the VG Remix contest (which probably produces some of my all-time favorite Sketchfab models)!
